FB_DALIV2QueryBallast
The function block FB_DALIV2QueryBallast provides information on whether a specific control gear is ready to operate.
Using this command, it can easily be determined whether or not any control gears at all are connected to a DALI line. To do this, the function block with the parameter eAddrType = eDALIV2AddrTypeBroadcast is called. If the output bBallast is FALSE and output nError is 0, there is no control gear connected to the DALI line. If the output nError is 0 and the output bBallast is TRUE, there is exactly one control gear connected to the DALI line. If several control gears are connected, nError will return 5 (several control gears have responded). In this case it is irrelevant whether or not the control gears have short addresses.
Inputs
VAR_INPUT
bStart : BOOL;
nAddr : BYTE;
eAddrType : E_DALIV2AddrType := eDALIV2AddrTypeShort;
eCommandPriority : E_DALIV2CommandPriority := eDALIV2CommandPriorityMiddle;
END_VAR
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
bStart | BOOL | The function block is activated by a positive edge at this input. |
nAddr | BYTE | The address of a device or of a group |
eAddrType | Short address, group address or broadcast | |
eCommandPriority | Priority (high, medium or low) with which the command is processed by the library. |
Inputs/outputs
VAR_IN_OUT
stCommandBuffer : ST_DALIV2CommandBuffer;
END_VAR
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
stCommandBuffer | ST_DALIV2CommandBuffer | Reference to the internal structure for communication with FB_KL6811Communication (KL6811) or FB_KL6821Communication (KL6821). |
Outputs
VAR_OUTPUT
bBusy : BOOL;
bError : BOOL;
nErrorId : UDINT;
bBallast : BOOL;
END_VAR
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
bBusy | BOOL | When the function block is activated the output is set, and it remains active until execution of the command has been completed. |
bError | BOOL | This output is switched to TRUE as soon as an error occurs during the execution of a command. The command-specific error code is contained in nErrorId. Is reset to FALSE by the execution of a command at the inputs. |
nErrorId | UDINT | Contains the command-specific error code of the most recently executed command. Is reset to 0 by the execution of a command at the inputs (see error codes). |
bBallast | BOOL | If the output is active, the corresponding control gear is ready to operate. |
